Registration for Next Round of Louisiana Fortified Homes Program to Open Wednesday

The Louisiana Department of Insurance announced that registration for the next round of Louisiana Fortified Homes Program grants will open at 8 a.m. CT, Wednesday, Sept. 18, and close at 5 p.m. CT, on Friday, Sept. 20.

Registration for this and future round of grants will be conducted using a lottery system rather than a first-come, first-served basis as in past rounds.

To participate in the lottery, homeowners are required to register during the three-day period this week. Homeowners who attempted to apply during a previous round of grants but were not selected will need to register for this round, LDI said.

Once the lottery registration period closes, the LFHP will randomly select 300 participants from the pool of eligible registrants, and an additional 200 registrants will be placed on a waitlist for the same round. The LFHP will send an email notification to registrants who are selected to participate.

This round of grants is limited to residents of Louisiana’s Coastal Zone and of Lake Charles, Sulphur and Westlake.

LDI has a list of eligibility and grant requirements on its website.
